A new optical illusion claims it can uncover the type of personality trait you have when it comes to relationships — depending on what your eyes are drawn to first.
Content creator Mia Yilin suggested what you first decipher in the mind-boggling picture can help you discover insights into your personality.

There are two different things that can be seen in the image.
So what’s the first thing you see?
The picture shows a flock of white doves flying across a blue sky — but some can see the outline of a woman’s face at first glance.
“If you first saw the birds, then you are someone who struggles with long-term commitments because you crave excitement and predictability bores you,” Mia said.
“You are also very prone to overthinking, causing unnecessary stress and anxiety in your life.”
However, if you saw the woman’s face, Mia suggested you are compassionate and empathetic towards everyone.
“You are a highly empathetic person, quick to pick up on the emotions of others,” she said.
“This sensitivity allows you to connect deeply with people, but it can also be overwhelming as you tend to absorb the negative energy of those around you.”
Her video has been viewed more than 130,000 times — with many weighing in on her interpretation.
“I saw the face. The explanation was so on point,” one said.
While another suggested: “Super accurate, saw both at once and they both describe me.”
In an interview with The Morning Show in late-August, hosts Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur asked Yilin whether there was “science” behind her own interpretations of optical illusions.
“I’d say yes and no,” she said.
“Yes in the sense that this idea of translating image to personality is a traditional art that has been practised in Chinese culture.
“But at the same time, I do recognise that it is really what you make of it.
“And, at the end of the day, if I am able to make people laugh, provoke them to think, make them feel less alone, then, to me, my job is accomplished.”
Everyday life
Yilin said she sources the pictures from her everyday life.
“A lot of different ways of finding these images actually,” she explained.
“If I see cool pictures in books, movies, on the internet, sometimes even taking a stroll outside and seeing cool patterns in nature, I will just take a picture of it and include it in my videos.”
Yilin said her fascination with optical illusions started in the past year when she started posting videos about them online.
“I have always been surrounded by things like palm readings and face readings, which are huge parts of Chinese culture so I’ve gravitated towards optical illusions,” she said.
“And upon coming across them in the past year, my mind has just been racing.”
